Question
**Activity: Matching Fatty Acids by Structure and Common Names**

**Objective:** Match the structures and common names of the three fatty acids to their systematic names.

**Systematic Names:**
1. **cis-Δ⁹-Hexadecenoate**
2. **n-Dodecanate**
3. **cis, cis-Δ⁹, Δ¹²-Octadecadienoate**

**Answer Bank:**
- **Structures:**
  - Structure 1: A zigzag line with one double bond, ending in a carboxylate group (COO⁻).
  - Structure 2: A linear zigzag line with single bonds, also ending in a carboxylate group (COO⁻).
  - Structure 3: A zigzag line with two double bonds, ending in a carboxylate group (COO⁻).

- **Common Names:**
  - Palmitoleic acid
  - Lauric acid
  - Linoleic acid

**Instructions:** Match each structure to its corresponding systematic name and common name by understanding the bonding patterns:
- **cis-Δ⁹-Hexadecenoate** is likely **palmitoleic acid** (Structure 1).
- **n-Dodecanate** is likely **lauric acid** (Structure 2).
- **cis, cis-Δ⁹, Δ¹²-Octadecadienoate** is likely **linoleic acid** (Structure 3).

Use this information to correctly pair each fatty acid structure with its name.
